My Thoughts by Robert Gray

  Trump, aided by his GOP, is putting this country on a collision course with a military coup or an armed citizen uprising. The Constitution gives SCOTUS final say on what is, and is not, constitutional. Trump, Congress, and even the American people might not like it, but that is the way it is unless and until the Constitution is changed. Our nation is built on the Constitution.  Our nation IS the Constitution.  The Constitution required Trump to swear an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.  It required every US Executive Officer, every member of the US Congress, every state governor, every state Executive Officer, and every member of a state legislature to swear to support the Constitution.

Let’s make a deal to end this war and have peace.   It’s hard.   These two guys hate each other – one hates the other simply for existin...
